hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. and a new documentary about one of the most famous couples in the world — david and victoria beckham has come out. it's called, appropriately enough — beckham.

first let's turn to events in mexico. first let's turn to events in mexico. the top white house officials are heading to mexico as the two neighbours attempt to ease tensions at the border and tackle some other big issues that are affecting the two countries. at the top of the agenda, confronting drug trafficking and illegal migration. the secretary of state antony blinken, and the attorney general merrick garland will meet with president andres manuel lopez obrador during a two—day visit. here's what secretary blinken had to say last week while meeting with his mexican counterpart. we're taking steps to improve and strengthen even more our border coordination. like piloting a model port to streamline inspections and finding ways to reduce wait times. making it easier for people and goods to cross legally well strengthening our capacity to deal with sentinel and other illegal narcotics. we're also addressing the root causes of regular migration by boosting economic opportunity.

there are hundreds of migrants, many from venezuela, who are boarding regular cargo trains to travel to the united states border. and thousands have crossed from mexico in recent weeks, alarming officials in us border cities which are currently at breaking point. here's what some people making the journey had to say. translation: if they don't want us to go through these country - they should close the border and not let us enter. every time we tried to get to the countries north we face obstacles and have no way of getting through. translation: the only problems we've had is with migration. _ officials try and take advantage of our needs. we're all looking for the american dream. they have obstructed ourjourney. we have protested because they don't want to let us move forward. let's go now live to james fredrick, a freelance reporterfor npr radio and the new york times in mexico city. thank you for being with us. i know

the main event is tomorrow. we would expect the secretary of state to be there. but merrick garland the attorney general why is he on the trip and what is he hoping to achieve? in trip and what is he hoping to achieve? . ~ ~ . ~ achieve? in recent week merrick garland had _ achieve? in recent week merrick garland had quite _ achieve? in recent week merrick garland had quite a _ achieve? in recent week merrick garland had quite a victory, - achieve? in recent week merrick. garland had quite a victory, which was you may not know this person but you certainly know his father, son of the famous drug lord el chapel was recently extradited to the us. us officials believe he was a major federal trafficker. that was a recent win for merrick garland. they say they're going after all efforts of federal to try and prosecute and put in prison people responsible for fentanyl trafficking. this is a big dealfor him. he is certainly a big part in trying to continue to fight fentanyl trafficking and the fenta nyl trafficking and the overdose fentanyl trafficking and the overdose crisis in the united states. ~ . ~

stop the shipments of precursor chemicals the more they will actually be able to do here in mexico and the united states was up let me bring in our panel. amanda, your home state of california _ in our panel. amanda, your home state of california is _ in our panel. amanda, your home state of california is affected - in our panel. amanda, your home state of california is affected by i state of california is affected by the migration come across the border at the moment as is the state of texas. the mexican president said yesterday that there are 10,000 coming to the border every day. what do they hope to achieve that would make even a dent in those numbers that are coming? i make even a dent in those numbers that are coming?— that are coming? i think this is actually more _ that are coming? i think this is actually more and _ that are coming? i think this is actually more and more - that are coming? i think this is actually more and more an - actually more and more an opportunity to finally get people to weigh— opportunity to finally get people to weigh in_ opportunity to finally get people to weigh in couple work together. the immigration issues and our broken system _ immigration issues and our broken system has — immigration issues and our broken system has been a problem for very lon- system has been a problem for very long lima — system has been a problem for very long time. perhaps now is the time with long time. perhaps now is the time wilh all— long time. perhaps now is the time with all these different issues coming — with all these different issues coming to a head in mexico, the issue _ coming to a head in mexico, the issue is— coming to a head in mexico, the issue is i'm _ coming to a head in mexico, the issue is i'm not sure what the relationship to really come together in the _ relationship to really come together in the united states with mexico, how we _ in the united states with mexico, how we do— in the united states with mexico, how we do that without doing more of these _ how we do that without doing more of

like the language heaves heard from suella braverman on the stage, she called politicians weak kneed for not seeing the threat of migration and not doing to stop it. the point is you can't build barriers higher if you're not fundamentally dealing with the issue of where these people are coming from and the problem they're encountering, can you? exactly. that's why you need to work upstream _ exactly. that's why you need to work upstream we — exactly. that's why you need to work upstream. we heard _ exactly. that's why you need to work upstream. we heard that— exactly. that's why you need to work upstream. we heard that migrant. exactly. that's why you need to workl upstream. we heard that migrant talk about— upstream. we heard that migrant talk about the _ upstream. we heard that migrant talk about the american _ upstream. we heard that migrant talk about the american dream. _ upstream. we heard that migrant talk about the american dream. people i about the american dream. people don't _ about the american dream. people don't leave — about the american dream. people don't leave their— about the american dream. people don't leave their home _ about the american dream. people don't leave their home country- don't leave their home country because — don't leave their home country because they _ don't leave their home country because they think— don't leave their home country because they think there -

the drug war says this is an awful idea, it would result in terrible bloodshed. it really wouldn't change dynamics on a large scale. i do think the mexican government is feeling pressure. we have democrats who want to come meet and find reasonable solutions to these issues. i do think there's more pressure for them to show results and say hey, were willing to work together and kind of silence this madness from republican candidates who are using rhetoric like that. james, really interesting to talk to you. thank you for coming on the programme tonight. maybe we will talk to you more on after that summit. victoria beckham has spoken candidly about husband david's highly publicised alleged affair, describing it as the "hardest period" of their marriage. the couple have previously denied claims that he had an affair while playing for real madrid in 2003. last night the whole family was on the red carpet for the release of the documentary, titled beckham. the former england captain

was in philosophical mood as he spoke to reporters about family life and his relationship with victoria. you know, we've been together now for 26 years, almost three decades. we've got amazing kids, we build businesses but we make time for each other. we respect each other and we love our kids. so, you know, you have to work hard at these things. yes, we've been together for a long time. joining me now is richard foster, a freelance sports writer who regularly writes for the guardian. i'm a i'm a big beckham fan. i think he's been a huge ambassador for support in this country over the years. is there anything in this documentary that i wouldn't know about him? probably not. as you say, he's been well coordinated, his stories well known. i think the point with david

beckham is that he became possibly the first ever football fashion icon. before that i remember times when the only fashion was really how wide your lapels were or how big yourflares were. if wide your lapels were or how big your flares were. if you actually look back, the one and fashion really hit football was in 1996, and fa cup final with liverpool were playing manchester united and liverpool players turned up in cream suits. funny enough, they became the spotlight boys, on the other side was david beckham playing for manchester united for that manchester united for that manchester united for that manchester united won the cup final and then david beckham went on to win the fashion wars.— win the fashion wars. didn't he 'ust for that peas — win the fashion wars. didn't he 'ust for that peas been i win the fashion wars. didn't he 'ust for that peas been setting �* win the fashion wars. didn't he 'ust for that peas been setting the h for that peas been setting the fashion wars ever sense. i'm told there's a lot of unseen footage

there's a lot of unseen footage there about his career. 0ne there's a lot of unseen footage there about his career. one of the interesting things for me is the thing she talked about around her pregnancy, which he announced it to david the night before he was red carded in 1998 in that famous game against argentina. forwhich carded in 1998 in that famous game against argentina. for which he took an awful lot of stick when he came back to the uk. and she says she didn't know a lot about football, she didn't really understand what sort of impact it might have on him and the way he played. in hindsight do you think maybe that had something to do with the? is do you think maybe that had something to do with the? is quite a tric thin something to do with the? is quite a tricky thing to _ something to do with the? is quite a tricky thing to handle _ something to do with the? is quite a tricky thing to handle as _ something to do with the? is quite a tricky thing to handle as a football . tricky thing to handle as a football or if you're told your wife is pregnant with your first child the night before you play argentina in the world cup match. i don't know whether that led to him dealing with diego as he did. that was obviously the famous period when he wore a sarong, which as i said, something i don't think many football players would even consider. i remember a

game, crystal palace manager once a door in the 1970s and that considered outrageous. —— a fedora. 20 years on we've got david beckham in a sarong. as you say, the amount of abuse he got after that sending off was totally off the scale. an absolutely unjustified. effigies outside the park. there was all sorts of abuse. he became i think, as well as being the first football fashion icon, i think he became the biggest person in football. and every single manoeuvre, everything he did was covered. as you say, is this documentary going to shed any light? probably not. will get interesting insights. and the fact that it's produced by the guy who

played someone in succession, i think that's a really interesting aspect because if you think about bottoms succession he has got four children, one of whom romeo plays for brentford bead team put amazingly and dues went to go in and see romeo beckham go to see him and brentford b. i see romeo beckham go to see him and brentford b. ., ., _, ,, brentford b. i have to confess, amanda was — brentford b. i have to confess, amanda was chuckling - brentford b. i have to confess, amanda was chuckling when i brentford b. i have to confess, l amanda was chuckling when you brentford b. i have to confess, - amanda was chuckling when you said it's hard to deal with the news that your wife is pregnant. i'm not sure all the women out there think that's the hardest bit of pregnancy. the feelings of the other half. right, amanda? maybe not in fact the extenuating circumstances that led to that red car. i don't know, what do you think? i to that red car. i don't know, what do you think?— to that red car. i don't know, what do you think? i do think being able to see a whole _ do you think? i do think being able to see a whole life _ do you think? i do think being able to see a whole life is _ do you think? i do think being able to see a whole life is always - do you think? i do think being able to see a whole life is always very i to see a whole life is always very interesting. i think everyone does

foster who writes for the guardian. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. for those interested in fostering in the north east, a unique hub has now been created. local authorities are working together. we've launched the first in the country regional fostering hub. instead of a prospective foster carer having to approach a single local authority or council in the north east, they can go to one team of experts, social workers and support workers who will act on behalf of all of the councils in the north—east and give them good quality advice and information about being a foster carer, what it involves, and they would support them through the whole process. we need the foster care service and the children that are coming in need carers and people of all kinds of life experience,

a second before half time. and it got better, sean longstaff made it 3—0, sliding the ball home under the goalkeeper. soon after, lucas hernandez got one back for the french champions. and it's stayed at 3—1 since then. a few minutes left to go. phil foden gave the holders manchester city the lead away at rb leipzig, but soon after half time the home side levelled, beforejulian alvarez made it 2—1 to city and there are just a few minutes left there. having lost their opening match in this season competition celtic were looking to get back on track at home to lazio. kyogo furuhashi have them lead, but the italian side levelled before the break. celtic had a goal ruled out for off side with just 9 minutes to play — it's still 1—1. you can get all the scores and reaction on the bbc sport website and app. the 2030 football world cup will be

held across six countires in three different continents, fifa has confirmed. the decision is set to be ratified at a fifa congress next year with spain, portugal and morocco as the co—hosts. but the opening round of matches will be played in uruguay, argentina and paraguay to mark 100 years since the first tournament in montevideo. 0ur sports editor, dan roan, says fifa are bound to face questions about the impact on the environment. you're going to have the prospect of the teams perhaps from europe flying thousands of miles to south america forjust one match before flying all the way back again across the atlantic, back to europe for the remainder of their tournaments. i think the optics of that are unhelpful and certainly according to many environmental campaigners has been condemnation already this evening. the supporters groups who say that it sets the wrong example. there's already controversy over the idea of staging the world cup in three countries.

the idea of going even further, with six countries in three separate continents, will add that controversy. liverpool managerjurgen klopp wants their premier league game against tottenham to be replayed after luis diaz's goal was wrongly disallowed by the video assistant referee. the var team failed to overrule the decision when diaz was flagged offside when the game was goalless. the referees' body, the pgmol, has released the audio of discussions between the match officials as they made the decision and when they realised the mistake that had been made. liverpool went on to lose 2—1. not as a manager of liverpool, so much more as a football person, i think the only outcome should be a replay. that is how it is. it would happen again. i think a replay would be the right thing to do or the referee has the opportunity to bring both coaches together and say, sorry, we made a mistake, but we can sort it.

and we start from there. the uk and republic of ireland will now bid unopposed for euro 2028 after turkey withdrew to focus on a joint bid with italy for euro 32. in april, 10 venues were selected for the uk and ireland bid, including dublin's aviva stadium, hampden park, the principality stadium in cardiff, wembley and belfast�*s casement park site — which still hasn't been built. uefa should rubber stamp it all next tuesday. lionesses captain leah williamson has been presented with her 0be by prince william at windsor castle following england's euro 2022 triumph. williamson has won six major trophies with arsenal and was named in the king's new year's honours list at the end of 2022 alongside her fellow teammates lucy bronze, beth mead, and ellen white. both england and new zealand have suffered injury blows ahead of their cricket world cup opener on friday with ben stokes and kane williamson

set to miss the match. stokes is a serious doubt with a hip injury, while williamson is working his way back from a knee injury. the england captain, jos buttler, says there's no need to risk stokes if he's not fully fit. he's just got a little niggle with his hip. we will obviously know more today and after training this evening, but it is a long tournament so we won't take undue risk, but we will know more a little bit later. it is just a slight niggle. and that's all the sport for now. newcastle and our 41 up against celtics. that is all your support for now. hello. for many of us, it's been quite a cloudy day and across scotland, really quite wet, persistent rain, particularly in the west and also in the highlands, through the central lowlands. here's that weather front.

really overcast here, but to the south, the clouds have been a little more broken, some bright spells and just the odd shower. the forecast for this evening, then — that band of rain is starting to fizzle away early in the morning on thursday, but the next weather front is approaching. north of that weather front, quite chilly in the north and the east of scotland, around 4 degrees in aberdeen, but to the south with the south—westerly winds, it's going to be rather humid in the morning — temperatures around double figures in most towns and cities. so, here's the weather map for thursday. high pressure trying to build in from the south, with the warm southerlies coming our way. but, before that happens, this weatherfront, this bulk of cloud and damp weather, if not wet weather, needs to sweep through, initially through northern ireland, wales, then northern england gets the rain and also scotland. despite the cloud and the rain, 17 in belfast, 18 in hull, but in the south and the south—east, this is where the best of the weather will be on thursday and thursday evening, and temperatures mayjust nudge up to about 20 celsius. again, thursday evening, overall, a lot of cloud. we have to wait for that warm southerly to develop, at least till friday.

still rain in the north—west of the country, so not warm and sunny everywhere by any means. in fact, that sunshine is probably going to be reserved for the southern half of the uk, but still, temperatures nearly 20 degrees in belfast and newcastle on friday, about 22 or so in the south. and here's the all—important weekend. so, the weather fronts and all the rain—bearing cloud, that's moving northwards, whereas to the south, high pressure is building. now, the north of scotland, it's a different wind direction here, it'll be colder — stornoway only 12 celsius. but look at northern ireland — the bulk of england and wales all in the 20s, perhaps as high as the mid—20s in the south of the country. that is around 10 degrees above the average for this time in october. scotland, though, in the north, will be closer to the seasonal norm. look at this outlook for cardiff, for london. it looks like the middle of summer. in belfast, also the high teens, possibly exceeding 20 celsius at some point during the weekend.

that's it for me. have a good evening.

at ten, it's the end of the line for hs2, with rishi sunak scrapping the northern route in his most important speech, as prime minister. it's a huge decision, announced at the conservative party conference, and it shows he says, he can take the toughest decisions, in the interests of the country. i say to those who backed the project in the first place, the facts have changed. and the right thing to do when the facts change,

is to have the courage to change direction. applause. the rail line destined for manchester scrapped on a stage here in manchester as the prime minister insists he commits spending just as much money on a range of smaller local projects which he says can be delivered more quickly. we'll analyse the new transport proposals, and assess how they compare with hs2. also tonight... the prime minister also announces proposals to crackdown on smoking, hoping to stamp it out completely. in america, republicans in the house begin the battle, to become the next speaker, in control of the nation's purse strings. and simone biles, one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, helps the usa win team gold, at the world and on newsnight at 10:30... long—term decisions for the future, or short—term jockeying for advantage? rishi sunak sets out his stall

for the coming uk election. is it enough to change the political weather?
